My new lid is here for the SL1210

[allthingsanalogue]

There was nothing wrong with my old lid but I saw this on eBay and had to have it.

It adds a real touch of class and beauty to a fantastic deck. It's made form Perspex, is 5mm thick and very heavy!

Cheaper than a genuine replacement and much nicer.

No cart as new DV20x2 being fitted on Saturday!

The new lid looks great. Cleaner lines than the original without the hump over the rear of the tone arm.

That is exactly how i would not make a lid

No good rolling your eyes at me sunshine. Lids need Mitred joint construction, they just do not look right butt joint.

Looks fine Andrew. I quite like its geometric finality. as you say it is very tidy on that deck, and a superb price too.

The OP was very happy with his new lid for £37

Your option is £140 :hmm: and it a dust cover :)

[The Barbarian]

[Audio Al]

Everything , for a dust cover

[struth]

Precisely. He loves it and that is THE POINT....

[Audio Al]

im talking about construction of lids :scratch:

Why ? no question or advice was asked re the construction of lids by the OP :scratch:

[struth]

Best you leave it at that please . you made your point

[The Barbarian]

You know what to do then press the button.

[Audio Al]

I can't see any buttons on either lid

[Marco]

I can see a zip on the back of both of your heads, though! :eyebrows:

What, like the LP12 lid! Although not the same I think they look very similar.

I think the lid looks far more class than the original Technics lids. Just my opinion, not perpetuating a argument.

[RickeyM]

The new lid looks great. Cleaner lines than the original without the hump over the rear of the tone arm.

I always wondered why Technics didn't make the lids a wee bit taller and do away with the bulge :scratch:

[Marco]

Is that what you tell the wife too, Nathan? :D

Marco.

[RickeyM]

Nah, I have more fun with her bulges :eyebrows:

[mikeyb]

Hi,

Just need to find a decent turntable to put it on 😉

Ah, so this is where this topic originated from?

I too think it looks better like this - I like the geometric form. Might not work if the perspex was thinner - the chunkyness of the edges looks good to me.

Gimp masks?

You know these two far too well Marco (they're not both in your cellar are they?).

Dunno, it's possible both are still being 'tormented' by Tabatha....! ;)
